Extensis Portfolio

A Brief How-to

• Login to the Portfolio Server using the Web Client through: http://udo-portfolio.austin.utexas.edu:8090/

• Your username should be your EID with the same password. If this does not work, see the Digital Asset Manager.

Select the catalog you want to upload to from the list on the left hand column

Click the triangle next to the catalog name to display the folders in the catalog

This will give you the list of years.

Folder Selection

This will give you the list of the originating events for the files if you want to find something specific.

Metadata

Select “All Fields” in order to see all of the metadata schemas. Custom includes information pertinent to the department, while the other schemas are Portfolio native.

This will open a pane on the right side of the screen that shows the manually entered metadata and/or the technical embedded data.

Close-up of Image

Double clicking a thumbnail will bring up a larger image. Exit by selecting the “x” in the top left hand corner.

Viewing More Fields

If you’d like to see more metadata fields under each thumbnail, choose “View Fields” in the top-left corner of the center pane

User Accounts and Permissions

User accounts will be created by the Digital Asset Manager. All users in the department will have accounts as well as designated users in the CSUs. Permissions will depend on user needs.

Access Levels

• Catalog Administrator: This level allows access to all functionality available. Catalog Administrators have access to advanced operations in the Portfolio Desktop Client, like editing custom fields, metadata mappings, and AutoSync folder settings. Catalog Administrator access should not to be confused with the Portfolio Server Administrator, who has access to all server settings.

• Publisher: Publishers are able to upload and delete items from a catalog as well as update all metadata for files in the catalog. Publishers can also create galleries.

• Editor: Editors are able to modify metadata, such as entering keywords and custom field values. Editor level and above can batch process, or, download files to their computer.

• Reader: Readers may only view items in the catalog and download files. They cannot add or remove items or edit metadata.

• Most users in the University Marketing and Creative Services department will be designated as Publishers or Editors. CSUs will each have their own Catalog Administrator to manage their assets.
